A tiny invasive snail species that can endanger native fish has been discovered at the Warm Springs Fish Hatchery near Lake Sonoma.
RANCHO CORDOVA -- A tiny invasive snail species that can endanger native fish has been discovered at the hatchery near Lake Sonoma, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said Friday.The New Zealand mudsnail has been found in other parts of the Russian River watershed but this is the first confirmed detection at the Warm Springs Fish Hatchery, according to state wildlife officials.
'Dense populations of NZMS can displace and out-compete native species; they may consume up to half of the food resources in a stream and have been linked to reduced populations of aquatic insects, including mayflies, caddisflies, chironomids and other insects important to trout and salmon,' CDFW officials said in a news release.
